    • Richard Wilson: One of the things about acting is that we get to play different types of people. Although I was brought up working class I am better at playing professional types rather than working class types. I don't know why. I am better at Doctors and Lawyers.
    • Richard Wilson: I do interviews because it required of you by your contract but I make it clear that I don't talk about my private life. The press are always talking about how scrupulously private I am but I just feel that my private life is all that is left really and that my public life is very public. I just feel that actors should be anonymous as far as possible and I don't see any reason why I should talk about my private life which is the reason I don't allow journalists in my home not because it is a pigsty just because that is mine and I don't want to share. All these programs, OK Magazine and things like that where people show their homes etcetera, I find that rather crazy. I keep my house private. Once I shut my door, that's it.
    • Richard Wilson: (on reality TV) It is really quite serious for actors because it so much cheaper to produce and therefore it is taking over from drama to some extent. There is not as much drama being made because reality television is so cheap. Things like the present Big Brother seems like just a bunch of freaks to me and I have no interest in watching them whatsoever. I have been offered I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here and the idea of it just appalls me. I was however offered something that is like reality TV that was to go to a château in France for a month and learn French which if I found I had time I would have loved to have done but I was too busy.
